Hey everyone, I'm new around here. Anways, I've firmed UCL for this course. Really excited to start life in London! I'm an international applicant btw.
I just have a few questions.
1. How inclined is this course towards programming (JAVA, C++, C) in the first year?
2. Will there be time for extra curriculars such as sports or other societies?
- On that note, which sport is UCL renowned for? (I'm keeping my eye out for badminton)
3. Around when will I receive my offer letter?
4. Are there scholarships available for international applicants? (I saw a couple on the UCL website, but I was wondering if there were any other companies/third parties offering scholarships/grants)
5. I understand that the University is kind enough to provide accommodation during the first year of school, but would one recommend finding a place to stay outside campus? (Primarily because it's cheaper if you share with another friend)6. Could you recommend any reading material to point me in the right direction for the course?
7. Heh is there a Facebook group for the class of 2015/2016 for students starting school this year?
8. How's the social life both at school and in London, in general? Anything in particular to look forward to?
Thanks a bunch to anyone who can answer my queries. Really appreciate it. And to the others who've firmed UCL as well, kudos to you!
(haha personally, I'd prefer a Macbook but a Windows is more practical imo)
Cheers!
